Have you already registered? If so, here are a few things you should know!

Lightning talks: Do you want to give a lightning talk? These are very short presentations, usually 5 minutes. Start thinking about it now and come prepared if you want to do a lightning talk, since we’ll have a signup sheet on the morning of the event.

MVP Award: We are starting an annual MVP: Most Valued Puppeteer award this year at PuppetConf. We want to recognize community members who’ve made great contributions to the Puppet community over the past year. The winner will be determined solely by the Puppet Contributor Summit attendees. You’ll get a chance to put in your vote at the event; all you need is the first and the last name of the person you’d like to nominate.

Hacker Tables: We will also have hacker tables devoted to various topics all afternoon, so bring your laptop and plan to collaborate with other people on contributions. You might even want to come prepared to work on a particular module or core Puppet component that you're interested in improving.
